The first time they came, they didn't dare to park the tractor too close to the factory, and only parked it on the side of the road.

Ye Yaodong and Pei Guang were bold and walked towards the gate of the factory with curiosity on their faces.

Three middle-aged men stood next to the tractor, looking forward to it.

"Dongzi runs around all day long, and he doesn't feel scared in strange places, he just comes, and now I feel unreal when I step on the ground, and I actually came to the provincial capital." Father Ye said with a sigh.

Father Pei nodded with deep understanding, "Yes, I actually came to the provincial capital, I can't believe it, I can still run to the provincial capital once in my life, I think that the farthest I have been to is only in the city, and I only passed by when I ran by boat, but I haven't gone down yet." This time, I skipped the city and came to the province, how unreal I thought. ”

Even Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "I followed two tractor drivers in the village to learn to drive a tractor more than ten years ago, and I came once to learn to repair tractors. ”

"The changes are really big now, ten years ago there were not such tall buildings, just walked all the way, I thought I went wrong, the streets are different, the people's mental outlook looks much better."

"There are all kinds of vendors on the road, it looks really different, where did you dare to think before, it was only ten years, it can change so quickly, and many vacant land that was unoccupied before has become several storey buildings."

"I thought there would be a big change in our city, but I didn't expect the change in the province to be even bigger. In the past, I couldn't imagine that the building could be built so high? There are no buildings such tall in our city. ”

Father Ye echoed, "Yes, I've never seen such a tall building in my life, and I don't know how many floors there are, it's too powerful and too high." ”

"Wait a while, when they're done, we really have to take a good look and take a look, otherwise we don't know what has become of the outside now."

"Yes, I have to take a look, it's good to come along, or young people are bold, dare to fight, and leave as soon as they say."

……

The old ones were chatting on the side of the road, and the two young ones swaggered straight to the door of the factory.

The doorkeeper immediately shouted through the window, "Who are you?" Who to look for? ”

They don't understand the local dialect, but they know what they're doing here.

Ye Yaodong communicated in his greatly improved Mandarin, "We are here to repair motorcycles, that... Director Yu is not there? He was the one who called me before. ”

"Don't you see a motorcycle?" The uncle also spoke in broken Mandarin, and at the same time looked behind them, but saw nothing.

"On the tractor, I didn't dare to stop at the gate, for fear of affecting you, so I parked on the side of the road first. I'm sorry for you. As he spoke, he directly pulled out two of them and rode the wind over.

Uncle's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, "Ouch, this is a high-end product, polite." ”

"I'm sorry for you."

"Okay, okay, I'll go to the workshop and call someone."

He happily came out of the guard's room, where he was still sitting motionless.

"It seems that the smoke is a stepping stone everywhere it goes." Ah Guang muttered quietly.

"Definitely, it doesn't matter if people smoke or not, you can exchange it for money if you don't smoke."

"This old man didn't move his butt just now, and when he saw the cigarette, he immediately moved."

"This kind of big factory, even if it's a gatekeeper, it doesn't matter and you can't get in, but fortunately, I specially prepared a few more packs of cigarettes before I went out, not to mention, no matter where I go, the smoke is very good."

"This factory is really big, I've never seen such a big factory, and I don't know how much money I can make this year."

"Who knows, we're not here to work, we're just here to repair motorcycles, and it's none of our business how much money the factory makes, just wait."

"If you want to come to work, everyone will talk to you in your dreams."

"You can't even come to see the door if you want to."

Hurt each other, and he can too.

"Definitely, who is a young person to come to the door, I am now the age of counting money, and I will come to support the elderly when I am seventy or eighty."

"Wake up, it's not dark yet."

The two of them gaged against the wall, you hurt me, I blocked you.

After a while, the old man of the doorman came out with a sloppy middle-aged man, the middle-aged man had a beard and a face that I don't know how many days had not been shaved, his face was tired, his eyes were bloodshot, and the two of them were startled.

"You are the Comrade Ye Yaodong who contacted me the day before yesterday, right?"

Ye Yaodong hurriedly smiled and nodded, "Yes, it's me, you are better than the director, I have already brought the motorcycle over, can I now call the tractor to drive to the door and unload it?" ”

"I'll see what the damage looks like first, and if I can fix it."

"Oh, well."

It seems that the shift in the big factory is not good, and I don't know if I haven't slept for a few days, so I'm afraid that he will die suddenly.

Father Ye and the three of them stood next to the tractor, watching Ye Yaodong and Pei Guang walk towards this side with a person, and they all stood up straight.

Ye Yaodong led the people to the back of the tractor, "It's on it, or climb up to see it first?" ”

"Huh? You're military? The man known as Director Yu asked in surprise.

"Yes, there was a big guy who passed by us and was injured, and even the motorcycle rolled down the hill together, he was in a hurry to report to work, so he asked me to keep it first, I thought about repairing it first, and when he came over, he could drive away directly."

Director Yu will be skeptical, "Really? ”

"Of course, otherwise I might have a motorcycle, who would dare to move the things of the People's Liberation Army, and send them over for maintenance with a swagger. If you don't believe me, I'll call him in your factory, and you can ask if it's true or not. ”

"Okay, then I'll check it first, and then I'll go to the factory and make a call to let me confirm after the inspection."

After saying that, he climbed on the tractor to check.

Father Ye's heart was also raised under the question just now, obviously they didn't do anything wrong, but when they asked others, they were very weak-hearted, for fear of causing trouble to the director of the bureau.

Ye Yaodong didn't care at all, he just asked Director Chen for verification, and when he came to the door that day, he also mentioned that he would cause him trouble, he said that he had handled it and had been promoted.

When it was sent for repair, he didn't say anything, and it was just a phone call later.

"The engine of this car is not broken, but the exterior is damaged, repair the parts and accessories, and then assemble it." Director Yu jumped down from the tractor and said.

Ye Yaodong's eyes lit up, "That is, you can cultivate?" ”

"Hehe, you can repair it, drive the tractor to the factory gate and move it down."

"Oh, thank you, how many days will it take to do the repair?"

"Now the factory is very busy, in increasing production capacity, general maintenance of these have to wait in line, when can it be repaired, you wait for half a month and then call to ask."

"Well, are there a lot of motorcycles that are damaged and waiting to be repaired?"

"Not much, just two or three, but I can't spare manpower."

Ye Yaodong looked at his beard and tired eyes, and it was also clear.

"Okay, then let's go to the factory first."

Several people were busy for a while, and the people in the factory also came out to help unload the tractor and get it to the iron plate with wheels.

"Wait... Did Director Yu give me a repair order? Otherwise, how will I pick up the car then? ”

"Yes, you come into the office with me to call and verify, and I'll give you a repair order."

Grass! If he can't verify it, will he just confiscate it?

"Then this motorcycle will be put here first, and I don't feel at ease if I just pushed it away, hehe, I'm sorry, I'm an honest person, so I'll tell the truth."

"Okay, then go to the office and call the bill first, and then send the motorcycle to the repair shop."

Ye Yaodong felt that people were tired and didn't want to say anything, so he didn't talk too much and followed him to the office.

Then I called Director Chen in front of him, listened to the content of the call to him throughout the whole process, and then Director Chen also helped him talk to this person and asked him to help with the repair.

This bearded Director Yu gave him a maintenance order with confidence.

"Half a month later, I will call me to confirm it, and tell you that it has been repaired, and you can come and drive it again, so as not to run in vain."

"Okay, thank you. Director Yu, you should also pay more attention to rest, see that your complexion doesn't seem to be very good, you look very tired, you should not have a good rest for a long time, the body is the most important thing, if it collapses, you can't do any work, the gains outweigh the losses. ”

He nodded, not saying anything more.

Ye Yaodong doesn't talk nonsense, anyway, he cares politely, if he wants to please him, and if he doesn't want to speak, then he won't speak.

When he walked to the gate of the factory, Ye Yaodong watched the motorcycle being pushed in.

"Okay, then you can go first."

"Okay, then we'll go first."

The thousand yuan in cash brought in the crotch of his pants didn't come in handy, he put his hands in his pockets, secretly touched the crotch, felt the real thing, and felt a little more at ease.

The group turned around and walked out again.

"Shall we go to the city now?"

"Let's go to the city and have a look, I was going to go around."

"Then go to the most lively part we just passed, the highest building, and eat something by the way, just in a hurry to find a place, only stopped to ask for directions, and didn't think about eating."

"Will you go back at night?"

Ye Yaodong looked at his watch, "It's already hurry, if you go shopping and then go back, the sun is going down, it's not safe to walk at night, it's better to stay in a guest house for one night, and go back early tomorrow morning, right?" ”

"Then I'll come back tomorrow, so as not to roll down the hill like the previous leader."

"It's not the leaders who roll down the hill, it's the officials who don't see the road clearly when it's dark, and it's the bend that rolls down the hill."

"It's wrong, it's good to know what it means anyway."

They also told Uncle Zhou that they would come back tomorrow and now go to the city they just came over.

After the important things are done, everyone is relaxed, and it doesn't take long to go to the city.

When I walked back, I was all interested and looked at the scenes along the way.

Ye Yaodong hurriedly shouted to stop when the tractor was driving a section of the road.

Uncle Zhou thought something was wrong, and quickly stopped.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong, Dongzi?"

"Why? Why stop it? ”

Everyone turned to look at him.

Ye Yaodong pointed to the factory building behind him, which had already opened his head and fell behind him, "I saw the Agricultural Machinery Factory, this should be a factory that produces tractors, and I didn't pay attention to the roadside landscape when I went, but I didn't expect the tractor factory to be near here." ”

Uncle Zhou said with a smile: "My tractor was also produced by this factory at that time, and it is still there for decades." ”

"Let's go take a look, we're here anyway."

"What's so nice about this, if we don't buy it, we may be kicked out if we go in, and this kind of state-owned factory can enter casually wherever you want to."

"Yes, you have to rely on the letter of introduction, and you have to rely on the unit subscription letter, right? Where you are plain, you can enter if you want to. ”

"You guys wait here, I'll ask."

He had read the newspapers that at the beginning of this year it had been opened to allow individual farmers or joint households to purchase motor vehicles and tractors, but he did not know what procedures were required.

When he saw this news at that time, he deliberately kept it in mind, thinking about when, if he planned to buy a tractor, he could go directly to the factory to book, and it didn't necessarily have to be a unit.

Although this document is small, it is the first time to clarify the legality of private purchase of automobile tractors, which means that the consumption of cars will have a qualitative leap in terms of policy and production and sales - from a single channel for public funds to diversified consumption.

"I'll go with you." Ah Guang jumped right behind him.

The two fathers couldn't stop it, so they could only watch them run away again.

Father Ye couldn't help but mutter, "Why are you so bold, this kind of state-owned factory, they will come to the door no matter what they say." ”

"Maybe I'm thinking that I've come and gone, and I'm curious to take a look, let's wait first, anyway, we'll be kicked out in a minute."

Uncle Zhou couldn't help but ask: "Is Adong planning to buy a tractor?" ”

"Huh? Haven't heard of it? You haven't told me about it, maybe you just passed by, right? Father Ye said in surprise.

"He heard that he has made a lot of money this trip, and it only costs 6,000 yuan to buy a 25-horsepower tractor, didn't he say he wanted to buy it?"

"He didn't tell me about it, I don't know, this kid has the right idea, I don't know what his plans are, anyway, when I talked about my plans last night, I didn't talk about buying a tractor."

"Oh."

Father Ye and Father Pei glanced at each other, and both of them knew each other, but they didn't open their mouths to discuss.

They all know Lao Zhou's worries, Dongzi is now a big family in the village, and he is also Lao Zhou's big customer, and at the end of the year, he can use the car alone to be worth the sum of his other jobs.

lost Dongzi, a big family, and his income shrank by half.

However, seeing that he uses the car so often now, it is really better to buy one himself, although the fuel consumption is great, but the tractor is durable, and it will not be bad for decades.

Ye Yaodong also thinks so, now buy a and put it for forty years can be used, the quality of the things in these years is leveraged, and after forty years, it is more valuable, although the purchasing power of the two generations is different, but it will not be lost.

The most important thing is that after having a tractor, he can solve the transportation problem by himself and realize a one-stop, without entrusting others, anyway, he now wants people and money.

The policy is also open, and it is also allowed to buy and sell individually or jointly, which is also a good opportunity.

I wanted to buy the brigade last year, but I was thinking of Uncle Zhou's affection, and he was a tractor driver in the brigade, plus there was no one at hand at that time, and I didn't have time to drive.

Ye Yaodong and the others went back and forth very quickly, and after getting into the car, he asked Uncle Zhou to continue walking.

Uncle Zhou was also relieved a lot, and he didn't delay for too long, indicating that he was directly kicked out and didn't go in.

Father Ye asked him in a low voice behind him, "Kicked out?" ”

"No, I didn't go in, I won't let me in."

"That's being kicked out."

"Can you not think so, I just went over and asked a few words, you want me to be kicked out so much?"

"It's not thinking, if you weren't kicked out, how could you come back so quickly?"

Ye Yaodong glanced at his father and ignored him.

He actually asked if he could enter.

After he couldn't get in, he asked someone if he could really buy it? said that he had read it from the newspaper that he had allowed individuals to buy it, but he didn't know what conditions he needed.

Then, because he would come, an old uncle at the door also knew everything about him.

It is said that individual peasants or joint households use the motor vehicles, boats, and tractors purchased to engage in non-commercial transportation, serve agricultural production and peasants' livelihood, and transport agricultural and sideline products that are sold to the state or sold in the market, and can be transported with a certificate from the township government.

To engage in commercial transportation, it is necessary to apply for registration with the local industrial and commercial administrative department with the certificate of the production brigade or villagers' committee, and the county and municipal industrial and commercial administrative departments shall review and approve the business license before they can operate.

There are no restrictions on purchases, as long as you provide proof of identity.

After getting the information, he left satisfied.

The dried fish he transported is an agricultural and sideline product, not for profit-making transportation procedures, so there is no need to be so troublesome, as long as the township government makes a certificate.

But he didn't dare to settle down on the spot, this is a super large piece, and it is also an important farm tool and means of transportation, so he has to go back and discuss it with Aqing.

If you don't discuss something worth thousands of dollars, you will probably be really angry, very angry.

He has a lot of criminal records, and he has played it many times, and he must not commit it again, so as not to be beaten into the cold palace.

And during this time, he ordered a boat, wanted to buy a shop, wanted to buy land to build a workshop, and wanted to build a building, each of which had to spend a lot of money, and he had to go back and settle an account with Ah Qing.

You also have to look at the store to buy a few, how much land costs, these are determined, if you have a lot of money left, you can consider the tractor.

He can't be impulsive, he has to control his spending.

It was indeed passing by just now, which just hit the original potential thought in his heart, he was actually not in such a hurry, everyone was still waiting on the side of the road, how could it be decided on the spot immediately.

Anyway, I have to come over to ride a motorcycle after a while, and the distance between the two factories is also close.

Father Ye didn't ask when he saw that he didn't speak, and the tractor was also very noisy during driving, and it was inconvenient to speak quietly, for fear that he wouldn't hear it, so he said it loudly, and he had scruples.

Along the way, they continued to look at the scene on the road, there were also many villages and farmlands around the motorcycle factory, and there were many farmers coming and going, and it was also some distance away from the buildings they had seen before.

The building that is being built now gives everyone who has always been accustomed to seeing low bungalows a sense of shock and excitement, although it is nothing in the future, but this is a characteristic of the progress of this era.

It also gave everyone a signal that times are really different.

After the tractor drove to the city again, Uncle Zhou found a slightly empty place, stopped first, and let them walk over, so as not to get too close to the crowd and not be able to move.

It just so happened that the place where he stopped was still a park, and when they jumped out of the car, they saw that most of the people walking in the park were young men and women, as well as people with children and the elderly.

"It's quite beautiful, there is even a park, it is worthy of a provincial town."

"Hey, there's a disco up there."

"What's that?"

"Over there, you see, there's young people dancing over there."

They walked a few steps forward and looked, a group of men and women dressed in fancy clothes, dancing to the music in the open space in front of them, some men were very sassy with big backs, wearing toad glasses, wearing floral shirts and bell bottoms, and some were still suspenders.

Ah Guang said enviously: "They dress up like this, they can even dance." ”

"It's all idle and panicked."

"The educated youth have all returned to the city, so the streets of the city are now full of young people."

"Let's go, let's continue to look forward, and hand over the things to Uncle Zhou to look at."

There are two lockboxes, but there is no money in them, and there is nothing valuable, so it doesn't matter.

Ah Guang and the others were accompanied, and at most they put a hundred yuan on them to buy things.

As soon as the tractor came all the way, they noticed that the street they had just passed was very lively, and now they came down to see that there was a park, and they also noticed that there was a department store in front of them.

There should be a lot of pedestrians on other streets, and I don't know which street the movie theater is, and there should probably be a farmer's market or something, as well as an ice rink, these places must be the most crowded.

The provincial city does look stronger than their city, although they have not yet developed, they are all in ruins, but the streets look wider than the city, the road surface is basically flat, there are many people, and they have seen the past two buses.

Ye Yaodong and the others watched while walking, planning to find something to eat first, but they only patronized eggs and fish balls in the car all day, and they didn't eat seriously.

After shopping for a while, he already saw no less than three companies selling fish balls in the provincial capital, all of which used board cars to put two coal stoves, set up two tables and chairs, and set up a stall.

There are even more tea eggs sold, as well as popcorn, maltose, rice sticks, and all kinds of snacks that children like, and there are cries everywhere, and they are all liquid.

Ah Guang looked left and right as he walked, "It's really lively, but do you feel that these foods are no different from ours?" We also have these kinds of food, but the vendors don't come to the door every day. ”

"I didn't ask you to come over just to see the food, but to ask you to come and see the building, the face of the city, and see the clothes, food, housing, and transportation of these people in the city."

"It's really stronger than the city, there are a lot of people on the bus just now, and the people in the city are dressed well, and the building is so high."

"It's just that the road surface is so smooth that I'm not afraid of mud on rainy days."

"That's right, Lao Zhou said earlier, now this place is completely different from when he came ten years ago, he knows better than us, and it is said that it has completely changed."

Ye Yaodong also followed closely: "That's why I asked you to come out and take a look, if you don't come out, you don't know what the outside has developed into at all, and you think that the towns outside are the same as our village, they are all low bungalows and loess roads, and everyone is wearing dust." ”

Everyone nodded, their eyes were not enough to seem, looking around, this was just a street, and I saw other streets at the fork in the road before, and there were many people.

Ye Yaodong: "Take your time, take your time, the provincial city is definitely bigger and more lively than the city." ”

Father Pei: "Let's find a place to eat first." ”

Ah Guang: "Where did you get this food?" Would you like to eat a bite or two of anything on the side of the road? ”

Ye Yaodong: "There's a state-run restaurant over there, let's go over there and stir-fry two dishes." ”

Father Ye: "There are no food stamps." ”

Ye Yaodong: "What kind of food stamps do you want at this time, now you can do without tickets as long as you add some money, or ask the guy to buy a ticket." ”

Ah Guang: "Then let's go to a state-run restaurant, I have never been to such a big restaurant in my life, and it is still a state-run restaurant in the provincial capital, so I can take it out and brag when my father returns to the village." ”

Father Pei laughed, "Indeed, you can eat bragging when you go back to the village." ”

Father Ye: "Lao Zhou should also be called to eat." ”

Ye Yaodong: "Let's go over and take a look first, it's not far away, if you can order food, let's go and ask Uncle Zhou to come over and eat together." ”

There is a big red sign hanging at the entrance of the state-run hotel, and the interior is particularly simple, with a few square tables.

It wasn't a meal, it was empty, just a guy sitting and napping.

Ye Yaodong patted him and said that he was here to eat, and there was no ticket, so the guy looked them up and down, and then knocked on a wooden board on the wall.

"This is today's dish, look at which one you want, the price is behind, and the one with a high price has no ticket."

There are only four dishes, two meat and two vegetables, one braised pork, one fried chicken with potatoes, one shiitake mushroom and green vegetables, and one fried spinach.

Ye Yaodong thought that the meals in this year were all large portions, but they had five adult men, and they were also very edible, and they wanted all four dishes, four dishes and three pieces of rice for eight.

It's expensive, but it's not expensive for them; Saying cheap, it is not cheap for people in this year, a meal costs at least a day and a half of wages, not a salaryman, and no one is willing to come here to eat.

Father Ye also took advantage of the cooking to call Uncle Zhou over for dinner.

After Uncle Zhou came in with two lockboxes and two cloth bags, the guy was also enthusiastic, and he didn't like to ignore it like just now.

That's the beauty of lockbox.

After the dishes were served, they really lived up to his expectations, they were all big plates, super large portions, according to him, the price was actually not expensive.

There is at least one pound of braised pork, and this kind of pork belly costs five pieces a pound, and half of the chicken is smaller.

Everyone hadn't eaten seriously all day, and they all gobbled up a little, but they couldn't hold back after they ate.

"So sweet?"

"Don't you want money for sugar?"

"It's a little sweeter than ours."

"Shh, I'm going to eat it quickly, maybe the dishes here are sweet."

"It's okay to eat with food, eat quickly, don't waste it, these cost several pieces, and after eating, you have to look for a guest house."

It's so devastating that I haven't finished writing the update until now.

A friend brought the child to my house to play, but the bear child squeezed out a pill for me to whiten my teeth, and when I brushed my teeth at twelve o'clock, I found that the whole person was not good in an instant.
